A new ice rink is estimated to cost $17 million. (Harry Zernike/Patch)
GREENWICH, CT The Greenwich Representative Town Meeting made just four cuts before approving a $448.5 million municipal budget for the fiscal year 2021-2022 on Monday night.
Among those cuts was the reduction from $950,000 to $50,000 for design work for a new ice rink, which passed by a vote of 120 in favor, 80 opposed, with 10 abstentions.
Lucia Jansen, Chair of the RTM s Budget Overview Committee (BOC), which brought forth the motion to reduce, said the BOC supports a new rink, but more needs to be known about the project after questions were raised during the reviewal process.
